I've been active on several car and watch forums in the past and I always used the same username.
But I didn't wanted to use that old username for this forum and hobby so I had to come up with something else.
Because shimpaku is my most favorite tree species for bonsai I came up with ShimpakuBonsai as my new username for this forum.

This is new to me and utterly fascinating. Thanks for sharing.I had only encountered it in the legal context. Given your explanation, your profile picture of a sunrise/sunset makes sense.
Penumbra (law) - Wikipedia

I particularly resonated with "they trace the origins of penumbral reasoning to United States Supreme Court cases from the early nineteenth century.[8] For example, Reynolds and Denning describe Chief Justice John Marshall's opinion in McCulloch v. Maryland as "the quintessential example of penumbral reasoning". My parents (RIP) owned an old estate for many years where John Marshall lived as a young man studying law. I lived there for two years when my wife and I were first married. The original house was built sometime in the 1760s. I can't remember all the particulars.

I love to surf fish, there was a point when I would spend over a month each summer roaming the North and South Carolina coast fishing. My fishing buddies would joke that when i get really dark tanned I looked like a Hispanic person so they called me Mateo, the Spanish pronunciation of Matt. Add the year I was born on it and that’s how my user name was born.

Sansokuu is my bonsai business name, but it also is another name for yatagarasu, the three legged crow. The three legged crow, though it has popular japanese folklore now (and is the mascot for a Japanese soccer team, as well as one for a shrine in Karuizawa, Nagano), has origins in China. The name Sansokuu is also chinese-derived despite being japanese wording (san (three) so (hand) kuu (originally wu in chinese, which means crow).
Maybe I'm reading into it too much, but as a Taiwanese American I think it all fits and is full circle as a name to me.
Also, I really stinking love crows. I was first introduced to the three legged one by an omiyage (souvenir gift) from a japanese friend who had visited the three legged crow shrine. My logo, attached.

At some point I was looking at anagrams of my full name, and this one was too cool not to use. Seems oddly relevant to the way some practice bonsai as well.
Fidur
Chumono
42 years ago, I read "The Lord of the Rings".....20 years ago I had to choose a username for a forum, and I thought Fidur was the name of one of the dwarfs ( I messed it confusing letters from Fíli, Bifur, Bofur and Bombur.). So Fidur is a homage to the weakness of my brain.

This is my birth name..
My parents are jerks ..
Just kidding...
"HorseloverFat" is the name of character's alter ego.... But the Character IS the author.... And the author's character exists, parallel. My favorite Author was a tortured soul... And used this "HorseloverFat" persona to try to reassemble his reality...
But he did It, creating "HorseloverFat" AS the author's character IN his novel, while BEING the Author.. writing the novel in which the Author "character" is contained...

Had two jack daws and two crows as pets in the past. They used to follow me to primary school and we ate cookies together in the break time. Unfortunately they loved diving at, and begging other kids for cookies, so after a few complaints they had to stay home.
Eventually they found a mate and left. But seeing those cheeky bastards grow up and play is pretty fun.

Ahh!
Just like a younger me, misspelling "Cyrax" on the Mortal Kombat chatroom... I spelled it "Cyrex"..
And that's just who I was, on the chat, for a couple years.
KikurageOtomo

Kikurage is the Japanese name for Wood Ear fungus, one of my favorite toppings on ramen. Otomo is a companion or attendant. I have a bit of a unchecked imagination so I fancy most of my bonsai as my friends, seemed an appropriate name.

I love collecting wood ear. I like making it a tea. Haven’t tried it with food though. I’ll have to try it! It’s out now in abundance I’m sure here.

My name is boring lol it’s my initials and my last name. I imagine we can change this?

You can change it yourself - and it gets sent to me for final "approval". Though I think I have only rejected one single user name in the entire history of the site...

And you're just going to drop a fact like that and not illuminate us to the name?!

I'd prefer not. The member started with a R rated name, I changed it, and then he ended up getting banned for posting porn. And here people thought bonsai web sites were boring
